13 Movies That Are A Halloween Must

Who's ready to get spooky?

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas

"This is Halloween". This movie is literally the epitome of all things Halloween and if you have not seen it, you are missing out.

2. Hocus Pocus

The three Sanderson sisters perectly emulate the idea of a witch trio. Somewhat of a cult classic, this movie is a Halloween staple.

3. The Addams Family

Two words: Wednesday Addams. Her goth personality and sarcastic comments make this character a Halloween icon.

4. Halloweentown (and the sequels)

If I could only watch one movie all October long, Halloweentown would be that one. Watching this movie and the sequels make me just love everything about Halloween.

5. Dark Shadows

Cool, funny, and slightly creepy. A winning combination for any Halloween movie.

6. Edward Scissorhands

Once again Johnny Depp as the main character. Clearly, Depp has a knack for acting in great Halloween themed movies.

7. Monster House

If you thought the abandoned house on the end of your street is scary, think again. This house takes the cake for scaring children.

8. Casper

Who doesn't love Casper, the Friendly Ghost?

9. Beetlejuice

Need to add a dose of creepy into your Halloween movie marathon? Then Beetlejuice is the movie for you.

10. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

In my house, watching this movie has become a great family tradition. From Snoopy dressed as the Red Baron to the fact that Charlie Brown always gets a rock, this movie is a Halloween classic.

11. Twitches

Twin Witches?! If DCOMs are your favorite thing on the planet, Twitches is perfect way to start off your Halloween.

12. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

And once again on this list: Johnny Depp. This movie honestly screams fright, creepiness, blood, and gore. Not only is the plot great, but the music is fantastic.

13. Danny Phantom

Yes, I do realize that Danny Phantom is not a movie, but hear me out, this tv show deserves a spot on this list. I mean, Danny Phantom might be the coolest ghost hunter I've ever seen and watching this show is basically like celebrating Halloween everyday.

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

Helen Horton

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

Endicott College

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
